There's a niche for something that's as sloppy-easy-to-get-started as PHP, but with a more concise/consistent/powerful language. Perhaps, a "PYP" - Python with PHP characteristics.
This is a little like that.
- zedshaw 13y agoYay! Someone gets it!
- jhancock 13y agoI've been thinking along these lines for a while. For python-based, I think your toolkit is a good stake in the ground. I think Lua-based is very interesting. openresty is a great choice for replacing the simple glory of what Apache/PHP once was. Although, Lapis (moonscript/Lua) adopts "Web-MVC", the way its coded is a toolkit of un-opinionated libs. You can skip the MVC stuff and just have a clean set of libs for throwing things in a directory and getting your bang for very few bucks. http://leafo.net/lapis/ http://leafo.net/lapis/ http://moonscript.org/ http://moonscript.org/ http://openresty.org/ http://openresty.org/
- mappu 13y agoSomething like Python Server Pages? Maybe check out Spyce or mod_python (or maybe set *.py to run as CGI)
- toyg 13y agoJust serve .py as CGI. Hardly the stuff of legend.
- gunn 13y agoI did one of these! The RHP Hypertext Preprocessor - https://github.com/gunn/RHP https://github.com/gunn/RHP Someone asked on stackoverflow why PHP is so easy to learn, so I wondered how much learning curve we could cut away. Drop .erb and .haml files in a dir. Done.
- synparb 13y agoI feel like http://aspen.io/ http://aspen.io/ sort of does something like this already. Written in Python and just uses the filesystem to generate content rather than a MVC.
- jamwt 13y agoYes, I really feel like aspen is exactly this, and very well done too. Already has real-world things running on it, like http://gittip.com http://gittip.com .
